Peter and Polly?

These are paper dolls from Woolworth's or Grant's. They're of glossy, coated paper on a thick multi-layer die-cut paper backing. They stand up with the aid of plastic-circle bases and dual-nubbin holders. Were they published by Whitman? Yes; they were, and they're Peter and Polly Perkins, by Gertrude Kay. The box is still around.

No more scans, although I saw a scan of cut-out clothes in an eBay listing. I'm not sure whee the red box with the white polka dots is right not, but I know that the ring stands were still in it and most of the clothes (neatly cut out, of course) seemed to be, also.
